I saw the tiniest baby deer while walking around my neighborhood! It was smaller than my 21 pound dog! I learned that it’s normal for fawns to be left alone while their mothers feed. The adult deer were across the street. 🦌🌳😍

Two floods were one flood too many for the Honda. And I just replaced the air filter this past weekend. Lucked out and found a used Honda on Craigslist, might take this one apart to see if I can get it going again. #hondalawnmower

Destiny only led us to meet our pretty @canaan_sasha nine months ago. Born in the merciless streets of Amman, baby Sasha known nothing but hunger, horror and fear. She survived by avoiding any contact with humans till the day she was spotted, chased and attacked. Baby Sasha was left with severely smashed legs. Nobody knows how did Sasha survived without any food or water in the freezing weather till a kind lady found her and took her to a local clinic. Sasha’s injuries were severe, her heart was weak and she suffered from pneumonia. We met Sasha at a clinic skin and bones, broken from inside, limping and terrorized. We offered her food and water and brought her blankets to keep her warm. Her eyes were screaming for help and we just couldn’t leave her there. It took us six long weeks to heal Sasha from her bad infections and pneumonia thanks to our friends in Germany who mailed us special meds. After that everything became easy. Sweet Sasha turned out to be a life loving and sweet loving pup. In just couple of months Sasha walked ran and even climbed stairs just like any other dog! She was the happiest girl thriving and enjoying her new Happy life. Five months only from the day she was rescued, our dearest @canaan_sasha was on her way to meet her loving and forever family in Ohio, US. It’s been four months now and our sweet little girl is her new family’s spoiled princess. Without your love and support none of this could’ve happened. These innocent souls have absolutely no hope in the Middle East. Please don’t ever give up on them 🙏. @canaan_sasha#stop_killing_them_jo

Long time no see, it seems. It’s been a rough couple months here in Sara’s little world. My house (where my studio currently lives) got hit by lightning, my mentor at the museum (where I go to find peace by participating in science) who taught me everything I know about mollusks got sick and died, and my mother (my hero who rescued, protected, and understood me when the invisible illness train hit my brain) was diagnosed with an extremely rare cancer. .🕷. My support system is strong, and I’ve dealt with pain before, so I have contingency plans from A to Z. That’s why I’m okay. I’m at a solid tired, but not crisis level (ATTN: DEAR UNIVERSE, THAT IS NOT AN INVITATION TO EXPERIMENT WITH HOW MUCH I CAN HANDLE!!!) My husband deserves so much credit for being a force of good in my life. Like... holy shit the team we make is working. We are handling things. .🐌. But, all that is why it’s been hard to coordinate the bursts of excitement over making things with the energy to show it off to people. But last night I started, again, to piece my routine back together. Here I am now, trying to be transparent about things because a shocking number of you guys really care ♥️😭 and check up on me when I’m gone. So, transparency announcement complete, here comes the creativity section of this post: .🐝. I made these Cats Playing with Moons earrings in small steps over the past few weeks for a friend who has been helping me #trapneuterreturn a big neighborhood colony of cats (the second colony in this long term project). They’re sterling silver with rainbow moonstone cabs and surgical steel posts. I... really need to get myself a stamp with my brand on it. I used to professionally design logos, so you’d think I would have been all over that... but no. I just stamp MYM and my initials and put a date if I’ve got room. 🤷🏻‍♀️👩🏻‍🏭 But it works for now! And it’s only been 10 years since I started this business so... um... that’s a totally reasonable amount of time to not have a logo. #mymsmk#mymoriginal#catearrings#mooncat#starcats#moonball#mindyourmonsters#10yearsalready#lifecomesatyoufast#imstillheretoday#cancerhappens

"Nature's first green is gold, Her hardest hue to hold. Her early leaf's a flower; But only so an hour. Then leaf subsides to leaf. So Eden sank to grief, So dawn goes down to day. Nothing gold can stay." ~ Robert Frost

When I saw this tree today, I could only think that it was the materialization of my all-time favorite poem. Also, a great reminder that I don't always have to go elsewhere to find beauty in the world. Sometimes it's practically right outside my door. 😍

I made Sarah a lobster bake (@weilands_market style!) for Valentine’s Day. A plethora of seafood, meat, and vegetables forms a feast for the ages! She was happily surprised by roses and chocolate from @michaels_artisan_chocolates. And I was very excited to receive some cookies from @cakesbykatbakeshop. Thank you for being the peanut butter to my jelly, @s_rush81 ❤️ P.S. Happy birthday, Pepper Potts!!
